This cold needs to end

I am turning into an excessively belligerent person. Although honestly in the littlest and pettiest of ways.

I had to run out to my midwife's office to pick up medical records for an appointment later today, despite the canceled appointment with her. And on the way back I took the bus.

I was sitting quite comfortably when a very, very large woman and her equally large friend got on. She proceeded to sit next to me, and then kindly offer to squeeze in so her equally large friend could also sit. Since I honestly feared that my little bump might be seriously squashed by the girth next to me I proceeded to stand. Which was totally fine. I felt fine, these women clearly needed to sit, and I'm hardly one to blame someone for their size ...

Except that I then proceeded to unbutton my coat which was covering up the little bump and to lean suggestively against the pole. Basically just to give the poor woman a guilt trip for no reason at all. And there she is merrily thanking me and wishing me Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and all the best of luck.

I really hope my cold clears up soon.

I keep meaning to share this with you . . . when I get a cold, I immediately change toothbrushes. When the cold is gone, I get yet another new toothbrush out. Seems to help me, and I think it makes sense, from a germ point of view.
